Some people say that nature has no voice, but we hear Mother Earth loud and clear.

She speaks through the water protectors, the tree defenders, and all of you who put love into action on behalf of the winged, swimming, and four-legged creatures with whom we share this planet. The sound you make, when you put your principles into noisy action to draw a line against unbridled industrial development — is music to our ears.

As a RAVEN donor, you are part of a powerful community of protection and resistance. Your actions bring the voice of ALL our relations into the halls of justice, to speak truth to power.

On Tuesday, the noise you made was deafening! Thanks to this amazing community, RAVEN received $12785 in donations on Giving Tuesday. This is more than double what we raised last year!!

Together, we are a growing alliance for Indigenous Nations, and we are putting reconciliation into action. Please know that the unsung heroes who are defending human and environmental rights are encouraged by your rallying cries. Your donations will sustain the epic work they have taken on: to defend and protect this sacred earth for future generations.

With infinite appreciation for all that you do, we sing your praises!
